Use of option \w leads to the situation, that special characters in category names (e.g. ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü, ß for Germans) -- that standard MediaWiki can handle -- "cut off" themselves and the rest of category name. So for a

Category:Mühle

parser only will find

Category:M

Seems to be better use of

'/\[\[(Category|'.$wgContLang->getNsText(14).'):.+\]\])/'

so at least one following character after ":", and cut off "]]" after this. So special characters could be accepted.

Thanks for the fix! This was added in SF version 1.8.8.

To my sorrow you have implemented ONLY the localized form of category "name".

In my suggestion there was '...

'/\[\[(Category|'.$wgContLang->getNsText(14).'):.+\]\])/'

instead of

"/\[\[$cat_ns_name:(.*)\]\]/"

to assure that BOTH the standard English version AND the localized version $wgContLang->getNsText(14) can work.

Should be

"/\[\[($cat_ns_name|Category):(.*)\]\]/"

But what if namespace aliases exist?

NS alias for "Category"?

If so - it would fail, but who does such things?

But localized NS names are standard...

zhwiki does (though this will not be used there).

"Category" is the localized name there; "分类" and "分類" are aliases (in zh-hans and zh-hant).

Sorry - should have just copied your code in exactly the first time. It's now there, correctly, in v. 1.9. It still doesn't support category aliases, but I'm setting this to "FIXED" anyway.
